Went live a few hours ago on Steam. It's pretty good. I never played the original SS, but there doesn't seem to be quite as much interesting action as Second Encounter had. The game has the typical SHIT TONS of graphics options for PC gamers, but it runs 60fps most of the time on my PC on all ultra settings. When I stopped playing I was ranked 26th in the world (and I took a break to answer the door and get some food).
Anyways, here are some screenshots that I took.
Serious Sam: The First Encounter
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Mar 21, 2001
A first-person shooter where players shoot hordes of relentless monsters while trying to save Earth from Mental and his forces.
Anyone else pick this up?
I owned this for the PS2(the non HD version) which I bought for 10$ at a dollar store haha, it was a simple and fun game though, I enjoyed it.
I've only got the original on my PC but I do remember it being both pretty and fun to play. Apart from the graphics overhaul, is there anything new in this version?
I'll likely try this out at some point. I've actually only played a demo of SS waaay back when...and never got round to playing the full version...so maybe this will be an excuse to do that.
I must caution against playing this game with any kind of controller. It's meant to be frantic, lots of monsters, like the quicklook. While controllers work fine for Halo 3, I fear the devs have to make the game deliberately easier for XBLA. Anyway, I own the original SSFE and SSSE, and still picked this up, both to support the devs, and for the leaderboards :D
Yes got it & found that it's just as fun now with the better graphics, forgot how much of hell it can get at times as even the normal difficulty is often really brutal. Still having problems with remembering where all the secrets are at. After seeing the great work Croteam did on this, I'm really excited to see the 2nd encounter on the 360 esp. the final level :).
